She gained hatred during releasing n#des of Terry Treasure
South African reality Tv star, Dinky Bliss, was under attack after breaking the girl code.
Taking to her Twitter page yesterday, Dinky Bliss, posted an n#de picture of Terry Treasure. Why she did isn’t known yet. She might have probably gotten it from her Only Fans account. But that didn’t work in her favor as SAns demanded that she pull the pic down.
Some of BBMzansi’s star fans screenshotted the post and said they were going to show it to Terry as soon as she’s out of the house so Dinky can be sued. If you’re not aware revenge porn is a crime in South Africa.
Revenge porn is the sharing of n#de or sexually explicit photos of a person, either via social media, texts, emails or by uploading the content to pornographic websites to humiliate the victim.
The penalty for this offense may include a fine up to R300 000 or imprisonment for up to four years or both a fine and imprisonment. Hmmm, here’s how Tweeps reacted to her post.
Reactions from South Africans below:
One said, BBMzansi Dinky bliss really stooped that low…first after she was evicted she went for Nale and started saying horrible things about her now she is on Terry.
Another one said, Guys did Dinky bliss dig for Terry’s nudes & publish them, or did she just RT’ed pics, Terry, herself posted? I woke up to the fire. Please say Dinky Bliss is going to jail.
The third one said, Dinky Bliss, you went so low by Posting your fellow human Nude that’s why you were evicted upon how entertaining you were, you cannot fight grace, just heal.
Details on Dinky Bliss Cause of death will be added soon.

Dinky bliss’ Big Brother Mzansi experience:
Rethabile “Dinkybliss” Potsane who left the Big Brother mansion believes that she made an impression on the other inmates and casting agents.
Dinky bliss was not surprised by the abrupt storyline twist that the viewers witnessed when she and Mvelo Ntuli were kicked out. She claimed that she knew in her spirit that she would be fired even though she wasn’t quite ready to leave the house.
Dinky Bliss statement:
Dinky bliss said, “I was not ready to go because I believed I brought content,” she said. “I’m spiritually gifted so there was a voice that came into my mind that I’m leaving, so while people in the house thought I was being negative, I was readying myself for something I already knew would happen.
“I wanted to leave nicely and be remembered for how I left. It was something to make the housemates remember that at times, stop judging people for what you see at the moment. I wanted to show them that side of me which is fun. So even if they would talk about me they would remember the exit. When Lawrence called my name as the next housemate being evicted, it did not come as something that would make me cry because I was okay with it.”
Dinky bliss twerked her way out of the mansion and said was her way of giving the housemates who had gossiped about her on the show a different perspective of who they thought they had come to know. I thought everybody hated me, I thought people would judge me. It was so nice to open my phone and see the majority of the messages I received were of people asking Big Brother for me to come back. I was very astonished but I feel very blessed to have been there.
After being away from her kids and her ailing mother for almost two weeks so she could join the show, she was happy to see them again after leaving the show. Dinky bliss might not have had a chance to take home the R2n prize, but she still intends to land a job as a presenter on television and grow her fashion line. “I’m going to fix my social media and be intentional about the content I share. I plan to approach production companies and go for auditions. “I have wanted to be in the industry for a very long time. I’m also planning to open stores in Nigeria and Ghana.”, she added.
